The ICGS Adamya, the first of eight Adamya-class Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs), was commissioned at Paradip Port in Odisha. Built by Goa Shipyard Limited, this vessel enhances India’s coastal security and patrolling capabilities. Paradip Port, established in 1962 by Late Biju Patnaik and declared India’s eighth major port in 1966, is Odisha’s only major port. Located at the confluence of the Mahanadi River and the Bay of Bengal, the port plays a crucial role in maritime trade and strategic naval operations. Commissioning of ICGS Adamya here highlights the port’s significance in India’s defence infrastructure.
